After joining the Bharatiya Janata Party, LJP chief Ram Vilas Paswan praised Gujarat CM Narendra Modi, the man he had slammed after he quit the NDA in the wake of the Gujarat riots.

1. Ram Vilas Paswan heaped fulsome praise on Narendra Modi saying,'Incidents happen, the riots happened in Gujarat 12 years ago, there have been nothing since then. But here in Bihar they happen every year."

2. Paswan added that he wanted to see Narendra Modi as Prime Minister, especially as he was from an extremely backward caste.

3. Paswan slammed the UPA, Nitish Kumar and Lalu Yadav saying that once, for them, Ram Vilas Paswan could do no wrong, and now they have ganged up against me.
